Title: George Beard, Sussex, 1867
Post by: Gravity on Friday 14 August 09 01:09 BST (UK)
I am trying to find any record of a possible marriage for a George Beard, born 1867 in Chailey, East Sussex.  Unfortunately I have no idea if he even got married as he was still single at the age of 44 and I don't have any female names that have been suggested!!

I do have the following info from the 1881 census but that's about it I'm afraid  :( :

George BEARD   Head   M   Male   46   Lewes, Sussex, England   Labourer General
Mary Ann BEARD   Wife   M   Female   47   Hailsham, Sussex, England       
John T. BEARD   Son   U   Male   18   Lewes, Sussex, England   Labourer Bricklayers     
George BEARD   Son   U   Male   14   Lewes, Sussex, England   Labourer Agri     
Edward BEARD   Son      Male   13   Lewes, Sussex, England   Scholar ((Labourer Ari))     
William BEARD   Son      Male   11   Lewes, Sussex, England   Scholar     
Fanny BEARD   Daur      Female   9   Lewes, Sussex, England   Scholar     
Ernest BEARD   Son      Male   5   Lewes, Sussex, England   Scholar     
Sidney BEARD   Son      Male   4   Lewes, Sussex, England   Scholar 

If anyone can find anything relevant I'd be very grateful  ;D

Cheers

A: with his mother in St John Lewes..... ;D
Ignore me, I must take a break!
He is with his brother Ernest in 1911......age 44, and with his mother in 1901 age 34.

Who did his brother Ernest marry? There's  a George BEARD of right age in Lewes 1911 ; when I ask for George BEARDS in Lewes with other BEARDS  I get one with an Ernest age 36, Fanny age 39, Maud age 6 and Joan F age 1 mth. The George in their house could be a child......

Cheers

I've just found the 1911 record too  ;D

It's frustrating trying to find marriage records especially when you don't have much to go by  ::)

I think it's time to call it a day (or night!) for now as it's 2.00am!!!!!!  Cheers for your help AMBLY... go have a lie down!!!!   :P ;D

FreeBMD shows a death for a George Beard age 44 Dec 1911 ref Lewes 2b 208 , so obtaining this certificate should show his marital status.

Hi there, did you get any further looking for George Beard.  I am researching the Beard family and George is my Great Uncle, his brother William was my Grandad.  I posted more or less the same message as you on GenesReunited and did not get any replies.  The notes I have in my tree for George are the last I have seen from the 1911 census and they are:- In 1911, George was still single at the age of 44 and living at 1 Brook St, Lewes with his Mother and Ernest.

I read one of your replies to say that he died, but has that been confirmed as yet.

Might I ask what connection you have with the Beard family please as we could swap each other's info that has been found to date.

Regards

Gill

Hi everyone,

The 1911 census had two George Beards enumeratd in Lewes, Sussex.  One was born abt 1867 and the other born about 1969. 

There is a death registration for a George Beard in Lewes in Sussex later that same year, and the approximated birth year for the George concerned was "about 1867".  It seems a likely possiblity that this related to the George Beard in question.

Name: George Beard
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1867
Year of Registration: 1911
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 44
District: Lewes
County: Sussex, East Sussex
Volume: 2b
Page: 208

Chris,

As always, thanks ;D ;D your adding the baptisms and deaths.  Of the names included, Edith Alice, Eleanor Annie and Edward Percy Beard were some of the children of Edward John Beard born 1867 Lewes and his wife (who is from my extended Dancy tree) Annie Rebecca Dancy who married in Cuckfield.

Penny

Hi Penny

Thats no problem, I have the data - why not share it

I got quite annoyed whilst on holiday as I knew I could answer several queries - but my data was all at home in Hastings; and anyway, was not sure how my 'dongle thingy' would work on my laptop or if I would be in a poor reception area.

Hope you had a great holiday.
